History Main / AndThatsTerrible

* ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAdventuresInCareALot'' has the characters use a lot of [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry Feelings Talk]] to deliver the episode's [[AnAesop aesop]], so it's no wonder that [[HarmlessVillain Grizzle]] would get called out at least once in this manner.

This could be considered a villains-only SubTrope of {{Anvilicious}}. Named for a page from ''Literature/TheSuperDictionary'', where even though we see that ComicBook/LexLuthor has stolen forty cakes, the panel still reminds us, "And that's terrible."

** ''Anime/SailorMoon'' the Creator/DiC dub version [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle Says]]! "Queen Beryl did a terrible thing when she destroyed the Moon." ''...oh, really?!''

* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', the 7th episode, Goodwin reveals to Jack Atlas (the current King of Duelists) that [[spoiler:the Demon Lord and his army from the shadow realm were sealed under the earth by the crimson dragon, and that by absorbing negative emotions for millennia, they will soon break free with more power than when they were sealed, and return to pillage the earth!]] Jacks response? "Thats bad!"

** "Gideon stole the PowerOfLove! What a dick!"

* A direct reference to the TropeNamer from the ''ComicBook/SonicX'' comic issue 31: "Eggman's already stolen forty cakes! That's terrible!
* In issue #709 of ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' (part of ''ComicBook/SupermanGrounded'') a flashback reveals the young Comicbook/LexLuthor was placed in detention for, you guessed it, ''[[Literature/TheSuperDictionary stealing cakes]]''. [[AscendedMeme Forty of them]] from his school's bake sale, in fact. In revenge for the school administration refusing to allow him to enter a fission-powered toaster. [[TitleDrop And that's terrible.]] ''[[AscendedMeme Terribly awesome]]''.

* The TropeNamer is referenced in an April Fool's chapter of ''[[FanFic/JusticeLeagueOfEquestria Mare of Steel]]'' when Silversmith steals forty cakes after Supermare defeats Brainiac.

** Yami Marik saying that he got Creator/TeamFourStar's account on Website/YouTube suspended, and everyone is shocked at such a horrible act. [[CloudCuckoolander Except for Tristan]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', the backstory is revealed that [[spoiler:Anna and Elsa’s grandfather was a bigot who knowingly led the Northuldra people to ruin in an attempt to subjugate them, but later murdered the Northuldra leader to incite collapse of their society to speed things along.]] Anna and Olaf (the kid-appeal character, no less) have a moment where they firmly assure the audience, especially the kids, that these actions go against everything Arendelle stands for.

* A particularly amusing example was when a wrestler in the middle of a FaceHeelTurn cemented his evil by... ''smoking a cigarette''. The PG Era, ladies and germs.
* Taken to extremes when a sports-entertainer is punished in ''real life'' for some really heinous kayfabe deed. Just ask Wrestling/DanielBryan, who was fired after his choking of a victim with a necktie which a sponsor of WWE deemed inappropriate. Daniel Bryan was brought back after the heat died down (he said Vince implied he would be brought back in a few months) and not due to fan backlash as was previously stated. Or Wrestling/ChrisJericho, who was nearly jailed in Brazil when (in character) [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain he tore up a Brazilian flag]] due to this being illegal in Brazil.

--> '''Sonic:''' They're gonna [[UnwillingRoboticization turn Tails into a robot!]] That's horrible!

* ''VideoGame/{{Supplice}}'' have the report where alien monsters have completely taken over the mining outpost on Planet Methuselah, and they cannot mount an effective resistance against the horde. It ends with a signle sentence: "This is Not Good".

* In ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'', Salamandra attempts to [[DrugsAreBad gain control the drug trade]] at one point. Every non-addict (and some of them as they are concerned about their supply) in game seems to think it is bad. This is silly because they already include murderers and rapists, both of whom net nowhere near the response by the game or {{NPC}}s. It is also unfitting for the entirety of a [[GrayAndGreyMorality morally ambiguous]] WorldHalfEmpty to show universal contempt for anything. Not helped in the least by the [[{{Narm}} "dealing in death"]] line red shirt guards use during the quest.

* Both justified and not in "Who Shot Mr. Burns, Part I", a summer cliffhanger on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' [[note]]the second part not being aired until a few months later[[/note]] that gave [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Charles Montgomery Burns]] as many KickTheDog moments as possible (in one case quite literally) to create a situation in which [[WhoMurderedTheAsshole practically everyone in Springfield would have a motive for shooting him]]. Burns has become obsessed with forcing the people of Springfield to rely only on nuclear power from his power plant, and when oil is discovered in the town, Burns hijacks the oil fields to preempt their exploitation by the townspeople. Then, to prevent everyone from using solar power--the one energy source that Burns cannot monopolize--Burns deploys an invention of his that effectively blocks out the sun, plunging Springfield into eternal night. Waylon Smithers, Burns's assistant, has reluctantly gone along until now, primarily out of respect and genuine admiration for Burns, but now tells his boss that his plan is "unconscionably fiendish." Burns promptly fires Smithers for insubordination, reducing the servant to a drunken wreck. He then goes to City Hall just to taunt the townspeople, many of whom are wielding guns at the meeting and some of whom have already threatened to kill him. As Burns [[TemptingFate crows that no one in Springfield has the courage to shoot him in the open]], the citizens stand up one by one and together deliver a drawn-out TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, saying that Burns deserves to die and should go to Hell and so forth. (Ironically, after all this, the one who eventually shoots Burns in a darkened alley does so ([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation possibly]]) by accident: [[spoiler: Maggie Simpson]].)

** "It makes Jews into ''steereeuhtypes''! And stereotyping minorities is ''teeribulle''!" (The jews referring to the movie "The Passion")

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': In "Walking Small", when Spongebob realizes Plankton was manipulating him in order to clear everyone off the Goo Lagoon beach and build a new Chum Bucket, Spongebob dramatically shouts "You ''used'' me... for ''land development''!" Then he adds, in a pitiful tone, "That wasn't nice."

* The DVD sets for ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' and ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' contain disclaimers (the former had unskippable speeches from Whoopi Goldberg) about some of the racist content of a few shorts, emphasizing that the racial humor was "wrong then and is wrong now", but is included on the DVD for the sake of historical preservation (though that ''still'' doesn't stop them from editing or outright excluding some shorts because of {{Blackface}} gags and such).

* Related to this trope: [[http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/wacky/black-cobra-gang-steal-cupcakes/story-e6frev20-1225841075058 members of the Black Cobra gang stole one-hundred twenty boxes of cake in Denmark.]] That's as many as twelve tens. And that's terrible. Some people at Wikipedia have even tried to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black_Cobra_%28gang%29&diff=505208287&oldid=497677031 add it]] a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black_Cobra_%28gang%29&diff=518517748&oldid=515799786 couple of times]] to their article.
* The Catholic Church's 2009 apology for the 19th century excommunication of Australian Saint Mary [=MacKillop=] in revenge for reporting a paedophile priest: [[http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/09/25/3021772.htm "On behalf of myself and the archdiocese I apologise to the sisters, especially to the sisters for what happened to them in the context of the excommunication when their lives and their community life was interrupted and they were virtually thrown out on the streets and that this was a terrible thing."]]

This could be considered a villains-only SubTrope of {{Anvilicious}}. Named for a page from [[Literature/TheSuperdictionary ''The Super Dictionary'']], where even though we see that ComicBook/LexLuthor has stolen forty cakes, the panel still reminds us, "And that's terrible."

* In issue #709 of ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' (part of ''ComicBook/SupermanGrounded'') a flashback reveals the young Comicbook/LexLuthor was placed in detention for, you guessed it, ''[[Literature/TheSuperdictionary stealing cakes]]''. [[AscendedMeme Forty of them]] from his school's bake sale, in fact. In revenge for the school administration refusing to allow him to enter a fission-powered toaster. And that's terrible. ''[[AscendedMeme Terribly awesome]]''.

* Literature/TheSuperdictionary: The trope namer and the trope maker. Pictured above is Lex Luthor stealing 40 cakes. That's 4 tens. '''And that's terrible.'''

* The series finale of ''Series/UltramanAce'' have a particularly groan-worthy line when Yapool, unleashing his most powerful monster Jumbo King on humanity, threatens to ''destroy the entire city and kill everyone in it''. Prompting a child who's with Hokuto (Ultraman Ace's human form) to deliver this line:

* While covering the infamous Pacers-Pistons brawl in 2004, ESPN sportscaster Bill Walton stated "This is a disgrace."

* Parody version [[http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/497/adrianveidtkilledmillio.jpg here]] replacing Luthor with Adrian Veidt and stealing 40 cakes with killing twelve million people. Spoilers for ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Starflight}} 2'' if the player brings Endurium to Starbase, after being fined heavily by Intersel, the message sent to the player will end with "Shame on you."
** [[spoiler:The reason for this is that the first game's ending reveals that Endurium is not starship fuel, but a race of ancient, intelligent, crystalline lifeforms.]]
* In ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'', Salamandra attempts to [[DrugsAreBad gain control the drug trade]] at one point. Every non-addict (and some of them as they are concerned about their supply) in game seems to think it is bad. This is silly because they already include murderers and rapists, both of whom net nowhere near the response by the game or {{NPC}}s. It is also unfitting for the entirety of a [[GrayAndGreyMorality morally ambiguous]] WorldHalfEmpty to show universal contempt for anything. Not helped in the least by the [[{{Narm}} "dealing in death"]] line red shirt guards use during the quest.
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenTierkreis'' is rather heavy-handed in this. You're told three times that the Order is deeply messed-up within five minutes of first encountering it, and when you get to its capital city, the message becomes near-continuous until you leave. What makes it either better or worse is that they really are that bad--they're [[TheWarOnStraw strawman]] [[TheFatalist fatalists]] who make fundamental logical errors in their arguments, then use those arguments to justify attempts to violently TakeOverTheWorld.
* ''VideoGame/{{Supplice}}'' have the report where alien monsters have completely taken over the mining outpost on Planet Methuselah, and they cannot mount an effective resistance against the horde. It ends with a signle sentence: "This is Not Good".
* The ''[[VideoGame/TalesSeries Tales]]'' series loves this. Especially ''Abyss''. And ''Symphonia''. You'd think racism and genocide aren't apparently such a big deal in the worlds of the Tales universe, the way the main characters constantly have to denounce it.
* ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII's'' [[AllThereInTheManual manual]]. The back stories of the species take pains to distinguish antagonists from protagonists with expressions like "the evil group of orcs" and the like.
* This is Sigrun's entire role in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'', when she's not smugly antagonizing Justice with her pickpocketing.

* ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' offers this gem. "He stole the Pokémon and ran away so fast. And that's horrible because stealing other people's Pokémon is really bad!"
* [[Funny/Portal2 Hilariously]] [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] by [[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=]]] in ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' when [[spoiler:she tries to confuse Wheatley.]]. It is ambiguous whether [[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=]]] is sympathizing with or taunting the target, though.
--> [[spoiler:'''[[EnemyMine GLaDOS]]''' ''(loudly, to Wheatley)'': What exactly is wrong with being adopted? ''(quieter, to Chell)'' For the record, [[AdoptionDiss you are adopted]] and that's terrible, just work with me.]]

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': While most of the time being hurt results in MajorInjuryUnderreaction or simple, wordless screaming, general class response to being hit by Jarate (yellow-ish fluid in a jar) and Mad Milk (described as "non-milk substance") generally are either this trope or BigNo.
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'' makes no secret of the fact that everyone hates Luca Blight and that he is a [[PsychoforHire malicious, bloodthirsty, soulless monster]].
%%* ''VideoGame/SuikodenV'' has the Godwin faction and Nether Gate.
* Inverted in ''VideoGame/Conception2ChildrenOfTheSevenStars'' when Torri says that Wake is a nice person. And that's good.
* ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'' has one such moment:
--> '''Sonic:''' They're gonna [[UnwillingRoboticization turn Tails into a robot!]] That's horrible!
* In the video game adaptation of ''VideoGame/TheWarriors'' (in which the characters are ''much'' more AffablyEvil than their cinematic counterparts), there are quite a few levels where you're required to mug innocent New Yorkers; the very first level even teaches you precisely how to do this. The male victims usually just run off to call the police (or at least try to, since you can order your fellow gang members to "wreck" any squealers), but the female victims put up more of a fight, often accusing you of trying to rape them [[EvenEvilHasStandards (which, to their credit, the Warriors never actually do)]], sometimes [[EyeScream macing you in the face]], and (if the mugging is successful) shouting "Stealing is ''wrong'', boy!" after you as you run off.
* In ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars: Dual Strike]]'', Koal drops the following gem after explaining how the Black Crystals drain energy from the planet:
--> "I'd say that I care, but I'd be lying. And that would be wrong."

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Characters, mostly Paimon, often feel the need to verbally point out how sad some event was, how evil a certain villain is or otherwise give an emotional reaction the player is supposed to have at the moment.
** In Xinyan's Mirage in Golden Apple Archipelago we see a memory of [[StrawCharacter several people criticizing her appearance and interest in music]]. All the other characters are visibly displeased when listening to this, but Paimon additionally bursts out with "Why are they being do mean!?"
** In Act I of Sumeru Archon Quest, Dunyazard tells a story of Sabzeruz Festival and how it's disregarded by Akademiya and other citizens. Then, the following exchange occurs:
---> '''Paimon:''' Aw, but that's awful!
---> '''Dunyarzad:''' It is. It's absolutely terrible!

%%* [[http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0599.html This]] ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' comic uses it as part of a bit of BlatantLies.
%%* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''. In ''[=On the Origin of PCs=]'', Vaarsuvius keeps invoking this during Haley's explanation on why elves don't simply have godlike powers with magic due to their long lifespan. Haley gets fed up at the umpteenth invoking of the Trope and threatens to smack V on top of the head.

* From the xkcd comic [[https://xkcd.com/547/ "Simple"]] (where a character is aping the language of the Simple English Wikipedia:
--> We can't put the broken part in the machine. It wouldn't smash the right tiny things together. The machine might break. That would be very bad.

* Both justified and not in "Who Shot Mr. Burns, Part I", a summer cliffhanger on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' [[note]]the second part not being aired until a few months later[[/note]] that gave [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Charles Montgomery Burns]] as many KickTheDog moments as possible (in one case quite literally) to create a situation in which [[WhoMurderedTheAsshole practically everyone in Springfield would have a motive for shooting him]]. Burns has become obsessed with forcing the people of Springfield to rely only on nuclear power from his power plant, and when oil is discovered in the town, Burns hijacks the oil fields to preempt their exploitation by the townspeople. Then, to prevent everyone from using solar power--the one energy source that Burns cannot monopolize--Burns deploys an invention of his that effectively blocks out the sun, plunging Springfield into eternal night. Waylon Smithers, Burns's assistant, has reluctantly gone along until now, primarily out of respect and genuine admiration for Burns, but now tells his boss that his plan is "unconscionably fiendish." Burns promptly fires Smithers for insubordination, reducing the servant to a drunken wreck. He then goes to City Hall just to taunt the townspeople, many of whom are wielding guns at the meeting and some of whom have already threatened to kill him. As Burns [[TemptingFate crows that no one in Springfield has the courage to shoot him in the open]], the citizens stand up one by one and together deliver a drawn-out TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, saying that Burns deserves to die and should go to Hell and so forth. (Ironically, after all this, the one who eventually shoots Burns in a darkened alley does so ([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation possibly]]) by accident: [[spoiler: Maggie Simpson]].)

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' had a very similar ''If someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable" PSA at the end of one episode that said almost the same thing. Though very {{Narm}}y, it actually prompted a few kids to confess to having been molested, so it did its job.

* ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' plays this trope so straight it crosses over into SoBadItsGood territory on an episode dealing with the horrors of racism. No, really. ''Verbatim.''
-->'''Richie:''' My best friend is gone because of you and your stupid racism! ''I hate you!''

* ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAdventuresInCareALot'' has the characters use a lot of [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry Feelings Talk]] to deliver the episode's [[AnAesop aesop]], so it's no wonder that [[HarmlessVillain Grizzle]] would get called out at least once in this manner.
-->"Well, what you did was bad! And wrong! [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And a lot of feelings got hurt.]]"
* ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'' is really prone to doing this. What with his [[TheDitz mental state]], this is not particularly surprising.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tigtone}}'': Tigtone sets out to slay the wielder of a [[TalkingWeapon singing sword]] that is murdering townsfolk. When he finds the wielder is a ten year old boy, his [[ExpositionFairy Memory Gnome]] stops him.
-->"Remember Tigtone! Killing children... is WRONG!"
* A rather [[{{Narm}} narmy]] version occurs in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' in the series finale, when [[spoiler:Zuko]] finishes explaining what [[spoiler: Ozai]] is actually going to do ([[spoiler:burning down the entire Earth Continent, plants and people alike]]). And then [[PluckyComicRelief Sokka]] points out for our convenience:
-->'''Sokka:''' I always knew the Fire Lord was a bad guy, but... his plan is just pure evil.

* The DVD sets for ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' and ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' contain disclaimers (the former had unskippable speeches from Whoopi Goldberg) about some of the racist content of a few shorts, emphasizing that the racial humor was "wrong then and is wrong now", but is included on the DVD for the sake of historical preservation (though that ''still'' doesn't stop them from editing or outright excluding some shorts because of {{Blackface}} gags and such).
** Some Disney DVD collections place similar disclaimers before otherwise-controversial cartoons (often those portraying ethnic minorities or foreigners in an insulting way).

* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' has an epic example with Rath at the end of ''Con of Rath'', when it turns out the baby they were escorting the whole episode was intended to be offered as a snack to an alien king. Rath uses this trope as a PreAssKickingOneLiner:
-->'''Rath:''' [[EatsBabies Eating.]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Babies.]] Is NOT! ''COOL!''
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'' where Eek becomes a [[SuperPowersForADay Super Hero For A Day,]] he tell some bank robbers, "Didn't anybody ever tell you stealing is wrong?" They look at each other in surprise and then tell Eek that no, no one ever did. Eek says, "Oh. Well, it is!" They put the money back and apologize.
* A downplayed example from Johnny in the ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroes'' episode "[[Recap/FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroesStrings Strings]]".
-->'''Johnny:''' Oh come on, that's just evil. [[ItMakesSenseInContext You can't just go and make a guy's nose itch!]]
* Characters in WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends have a tendency to punctuate descriptions of bad things that might happen with "...and that will never do."
* In "The Coin" on ''Literature/{{Babar}}'', everyone gets upset when Rataxes suggests that he might take various things of theirs... but everyone stops their complaining to Babar at once to express outrage when Isabelle reveals that he threatened to take her dolly.

* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': In "Big Dreams and Blue Skies," this is Molly's reaction to learning that women have been left out of history books.
-->'''Molly''': That is so unfair!

* Onime no Kyo of ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'' kills people for fun. Since he's the hero, every one of the villains in the series has to be called "You MONSTER!" at some point, [[BlackAndGrayMorality just so we remember which of them is less bad]].

* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'':
** ''Anime/SailorMoon'' the Creator/DiC dub version [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle Says]]! "Queen Beryl did a terrible thing when she destroyed the Moon." ''...oh, really?!''
* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', the 7th episode, Goodwin reveals to Jack Atlas (the current King of Duelists) that [[spoiler:the Demon Lord and his army from the shadow realm were sealed under the earth by the crimson dragon, and that by absorbing negative emotions for millennia, they will soon break free with more power than when they were sealed, and return to pillage the earth!]] Jacks response? "Thats bad!"
* A GagSub for ''Anime/StarDriver'' reminds its viewers, "Please do not imitate rapists!"
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Anime/GalileiDonna'' -- Kazuki Ferrari is a somewhat spacey law school student. Thus, when a sky pirate named Cicinho invades her home, holds up her family, has her father beaten, and demands the location of [[MacGuffin "Galileo's Inheritance"]], she starts listing off every law he just broke in the last five minutes before topping it off with, "You're the worst male scumbag in Italy! Oh, and you'd make the top three in all of Europe, too! If there was a world cup for scumbags, you'd be totally in the running. Congrats!" Cicinho finds this amusing and decides to add the crime of nicknaming her "Bambina" to the list.
* The ''Anime/LupinIIIPartII'' episode [[Recap/LupinIIIS2E35 "Gorilla Tactics"]] has Jigen listing [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Fujiko's]] misbehaviour, blatantly stating she was terrible in the original Japanese.

* In issue #709 of Franchise/{{Superman}} (part of ''ComicBook/SupermanGrounded'') a flashback reveals the young Comicbook/LexLuthor was placed in detention for, you guessed it, ''[[Literature/TheSuperdictionary stealing cakes]]''. [[AscendedMeme Forty of them]] from his school's bake sale, in fact. In revenge for the school administration refusing to allow him to enter a fission-powered toaster. And that's terrible. ''[[AscendedMeme Terribly awesome]]''.

* Parody version [[http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/497/adrianveidtkilledmillio.jpg here]] replacing Luthor with Adrian Veidt and stealing 40 cakes with killing twelve million people. Spoilers for ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''.

* From the ''[[Comicbook/{{Doom}} Doom Comic]]'' we get the immortal line "Now I'm radioactive! That can't be good!"
* ''ComicBook/ChickTracts'' fall into this sometimes. Remember, kids, [[http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0058/0058_01.asp Satanic sacrifices are a slap in God's face]].

* ''WebVideo/PrincessTutuAbridged'': Child abuse! "It's bad!"
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'':
** Yami Marik saying that he got Creator/TeamFourStar's account on Website/YouTube suspended, and everyone is shocked at such a horrible act. [[CloudCuckoolander Except for Tristan]].
--->'''Tristan:''' Oh my God! Who's Team Four Star?
** Pegasus may have kidnapped Yugi's grandfather, but Kaiba [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney cheated in]] [[SeriousBusiness a children's card game]] and [[ThisIsUnforgivable that's unforgivable]].

* In ''Fanfic/ThePrayerWarriors'', the narration frequently refers to Satanists doing "wrong" things, but doesn't even elaborate on what those things are before skipping to the part where the Prayer Warriors butcher them. Interestingly enough, Jerry's narration says that "killing is bad, and is a sin against lord Jesus Christ," before then reminding us that the Prayer Warriors have a narrower definition than most people when he says, "Killing a Christian is a sin," [[{{Hypocrite}} before murdering]] [[Literature/PercyJackson Thalia Grace]] [[HeelFaceDoorSlam on the off chance]] [[FakeDefector she's lying about her]] HeelFaceTurn.

* In ''FanFic/HogwartsSchoolOfPrayerAndMiracles'', Draco's views on women cause both Harry and the author to start ranting about what a horrible person he is whenever they are brought up.

* ''FanFic/HiddenProphices'' uses this trope a ''lot'', especially where Deathstar/Lilyblossom is told of this many times after he does something deliberately bad. The earliest example is where he [[spoiler:murders one of Glasswater's kits at a few minutes old and she just tells him she forgives him and will teach him that being evil is terrible]].
* ''Fanfic/TheSpiderses'': After Twilight gets turned into a spider, she decides to not get help from Spike because he might squish her out of fear. The narration notes that Spike doing so would "make her dead spider twilight abd that is bad."

[[folder:Films — Animated]]

[[folder:Films — Live-Action]]
* In ''Film/SupermanII'', Perry White informs Clark Kent that terrorists are threatening to destroy the Eiffel Tower (and [[NukeEm much, much more]]).
-->'''Clark:''' Well, jeez, Mr. White, that's terrible!\\
'''Perry:''' That's why they call them ''terrorists'', Kent.

* One of Mark Whitacre's inner monologues in ''Film/TheInformant2009''.
-->"I've been to Tokyo. They sell little-girl underwear in the vending machines right on the main drag, the Ginza, or whatever. Guys in suits buying used girl panties. How is that okay? That's not okay."
* In ''Film/{{Roxanne}}'', this is the gist of the summation to C.D.'s [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech diatribe to his volunteer fire department]] when he comes to work to find a burning barrel ''[[TooIncompetentToOperateABlanket in the fire house]]''.
-->'''C.D.:''' You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, "Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!" '''That would be bad.'''
* In the ''Film/{{Garfield}}'' movie the villain at one point tortures Odie with a shock collar. Garfield looks straight at the FourthWall and reminds us that "that's inhumane!"

* In ''Film/GoForIt'', near the end the two protagonists learn of the EvilPlan of K1, which will remove from everyone's minds the concept of "number". When they're given a pause to decide wether to join him or not, they discuss the potential, terrible consequences of such a plan in a tone which makes clear that they're not taking the threat seriously (like the impossibility of calling a hooker or eating more than one hamburger per time)... but they do once they realize that, without numbers, they'll be unable to enjoy their secret stash of a million dollars.

* In ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'', Ren feels the need to deliver a speech of that kind to the soldiers who accompany her. In her opinion, they're insufficiently shocked by finding the dead body of a man who was raped and died of having his tongue cut off. She asks what the rapists intended to tell their children (if they succeeded in conceiving). That their father was raped and had his tongue cut off? Most terrible things that are done are lampshaded to be terrible by at least one protagonist, or the narrative itself, just in case the reader misses it. (Which, with [[MaritalRapeLicense marital rape]] is a justified concern. Maybe [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale female-on-male rape]] warrants a "and that's terrible", too.)
** It's then pointed out to Ren that she's one of the few people there who knew a father and wasn't a ChildByRape; women in this society who can't afford husbands conceive children by going to "cribs" full of drugged men.

* ''Constantly'' in ''Literature/UncleTomsCabin'', which Creator/GustaveFlaubert provided the page quote about. Indeed, some contemporary abolitionist critiques of the novel could be boiled down to "people seriously need this spelled out for them?!" Sadly they did, as numerous Southern people — and some Northerners — defended slavery; the book garnered a ''huge'' number of responses trying to rebut it. Not just as a necessary evil too, but in some cases even ''a positive good''. This came from leading thinkers often (and not all were even slave owners themselves). Yes, it was necessary.

* In ''Literature/TheLegendOfRahAndTheMuggles'', when Zyn starts to turn evil, everyone goes on about how he's so "nasty" that he's spreading nastiness like a disease. The talking animals, the Muggles (including Zyn's adopted mother), and dear lord the ''narrator herself'' can't go for two sentences without reminding us how evil Zyn is.
* From the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' series, we get this gem from ''War of Honor'' as the [[SleazyPolitician High Ridge government]] discusses the possibility of facing a new war that could cause their navy huge casualties:
--> "That's terrible," New Kiev said softly. Which, Janacek reflected, was probably one of the most superfluous things even she'd ever said.

* Literature/TheBible can come across this way at times, particularly [[Literature/BookOfProverbs Proverbs]].
-->"Do not enter on the path of the wicked; do not walk on the way of evil men.\\
Avoid it; do not pass through it; turn away from it; pass it by. \\
For they cannot sleep unless they have done evil; unless they make someone fall they are robbed of sleep. \\
They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of lawlessness. "\\
''Proverbs 4:14-17''
* In ''Literature/DeathStar'', all but the most truly evil members of the large ensemble cast are horrified when the superweapon they live and work on is tested [[TestedOnHumans on Despayre]] and much much more so when it's used on Alderaan. They all have thoughts on the morality of this and, Vader and Tarkin and Motti aside, those thoughts are very similar. Of course, those characters are all in the process of [[DefectorFromDecadence turning on the Empire]] out of sheer moral outrage so it would be odd if the book ''wasn't'' having them think about how monstrous the situation is.
* ''Literature/TheFamousFive'': In ''Five on Kirrin Island Again'', Anne has this reaction when Dick tells of how he trod on Timmy's tail to make him whine, to distract George.
--> '''Anne:''' That was ''horrid'' of you, Dick.
* ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'': Harry has this reaction when Luna Lovegood tells him that people keeping stealing or hiding her belongings.

* [[AvertedTrope Averting]] this trope for "Angel of Death" is more than likely what got people into thinking Music/{{Slayer}} were Nazi sympathizers. According to guitarist Jeff Hanneman, "…there's nothing I put in the lyrics that says necessarily [Josef Mengele] was a bad man, because to me--well, [[KickTheDog isn't that]] [[MoralEventHorizon obvious]]? I shouldn't have to tell you that."
* [[Music/{{Supertramp}} Crime of the Century]] tells you that the people committing said crime (raping the universe) have gone from bad to worse.

* The opening number of Batboy the Musical
--->''They stripped him of his dignity,\\
they beat him like a gong\\
and he was kicked repeatadedly\\
and that was wrong!''

* Music/TheArrogantWorms would like you to know that carrot juice constitutes murder (and that's a real crime).

** In ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'', before fighting each Dark Kingdom General so far, Usagi generally rattles off their evil scheme from that episode before declaring, "That's unforgivable!", followed swiftly by "InTheNameOfTheMoon, I will punish you!"

* In ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'', [[spoiler:Homura steals Madoka's powers so she can "protect" her and perpetually torment the Incubators, and she tweaks everyone's memories to eliminate conflict, exuding ObviouslyEvil motifs throughout]]. Afterward, Sayaka feels the need to point out that this was just plain ''evil''. Oddly enough, this may be meant to call the supposed evilness into question. The same character did almost exactly the same thing before the movie started, and [[{{Irony}} Sayaka argued that it wasn't really that bad, so they shouldn't be too quick to condemn the antagonist as a monster.]]

* In issue #709 of Franchise/{{Superman}} a flashback reveals the young Comicbook/LexLuthor was placed in detention for, you guessed it, ''[[Literature/TheSuperdictionary stealing cakes]]''. [[AscendedMeme Forty of them]] from his school's bake sale, in fact. In revenge for the school administration refusing to allow him to enter a fission-powered toaster. And that's terrible. ''[[AscendedMeme Terribly awesome]]''.

%%* Parody version [[http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/497/adrianveidtkilledmillio.jpg here]]. Spoilers for ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''.

* Both justified and not in "Who Shot Mr. Burns, Part I", a summer cliffhanger on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' [[note]]the second part not being aired until a few months later[[/note]] that gave [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Charles Montgomery Burns]] as many KickTheDog moments as possible (in one case quite literally) to create a situation in which [[WhoMurderedTheAsshole practically everyone in Springfield would have a motive for shooting him]]. Burns has become obsessed with forcing the people of Springfield to rely only on nuclear power from his power plant, and when oil is discovered in the town, Burns hijacks the oil fields to preempt their exploitation by the townspeople. Then, to prevent everyone from using solar power--the one energy source that Burns cannot monopolize--Burns deploys an invention of his that effectively blocks out the sun, plunging Springfield into eternal night. Waylon Smithers, Burns's assistant, has reluctantly gone along until now, primarily out of respect and genuine admiration for Burns, but now tells his boss that his plan is "unconscionably fiendish." Burns promptly fires Smithers for insubordination, reducing the servant to a drunken wreck. He then goes to City Hall just to taunt the townspeople, many of whom are wielding guns at the meeting and some of whom have already threatened to kill him. As Burns [[TemptingFate crows that no one in Springfield has the courage to shoot him in the open]], the citizens stand up one by one and together deliver a drawn-out TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, saying that Burns deserves to die and should go to Hell and so forth. (Ironically, after all this, the one who eventually shoots Burns in a darkened alley does so ([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation possibly]]) by accident: it's [[spoiler: Maggie Simpson]].)

* A rather [[{{Narm}} narmy]] version occurs in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' in the series finale, when [[spoiler: Zuko]] finishes explaining what [[spoiler: Ozai]] is actually going to do ([[spoiler: burning down the entire Earth Continent, plants and people alike]]). And then [[PluckyComicRelief Sokka]] points out for our convenience:

* ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'': Harry has this reaction when Luna Lovegood tells him that people keeping stealing or hiding her belongings.

* After learning how bad UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust was while researching for her role in ''Shining Through'', actress Creator/MelanieGriffith said in the ''New York Daily News'': "I didn't know that [[EleventyZillion 6 million Jews were killed.]] That's a lot of people."

Can't you just buy some cakes?]][[note]]This was actually made before he became such.[[/note]]]]

** In ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'', before fighting each Dark Kingdom General so far, Usagi generally rattles off their evil scheme from that episode before declaring, "That's unforgivable!", followed swiftly by "InTheNameOfTheMoon, [[CatchPhrase I will punish you!]]"

-->-- '''Gustave Flaubert''', on ''Literature/UncleTomsCabin''

* WebVideo/{{Useful Charts}}’s video on the family tree of the Roman kings has the host interrupt his summary of the Rape of Lucretia by saying that, despite Lucretia supposedly being the most virtuous of women, her [[FemaleMisogynist killing herself specifically so that no woman to come after her can excuse their own promiscuity]], ''[[DefiledForever even if she is raped]]'', proves that this assessment is undeserved. [[StealthInsult Basically, he calls her a karen without ever using the word.]] This is rather strange, considering that most people don’t need it pointed out to them that [[ValuesDissonance ancient peoples were not as morally advanced in certain areas]], and despite the series covering other ancient societies which were just as bad if not worse by modern standards without moralizing about it.

** In series 1 episode 2, Xander has perhaps his most CaptainObvious moment ''ever.''

** Parodied in an episode when Buffy and Faith (a rogue slayer) switch bodies. Faith assumes Buffy's catchphrase is (variations on) "you can't do that, because it's wrong."

* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. Many instances. Once, a scientist was roughly handling a female scientist in ''Film/KingDinosaur'', to the degree Tom Servo laughed and scolded at the same time, "That's terrible!"
